The associate degree in criminal justice is the most popular of all associate degrees earned in the United States as of October, 2007.

In fact, 50% of law enforcement officers now hold an associate or bachelors degree of some sort.

Criminal justice associate degrees are designed so that upon completion of the program a student can easily transition into a bachelor's degree in criminal justice at many schools or begin their career in the field of criminal justice.
